    Pedlar Palmer

    Here is a good article on Pedlar Palmer, which might give some a quick summary of the book.
    http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97853128?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits=

    Here is a short article about his trial where he was sentenced to five years imprisonment for punching and killing a man in a train.

    http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/19406996?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits=

    here is a brief excerpt of him losing to Jim Driscoll, although he sounds out of condition and well past it by this fight.

    This one contains an interesting excuse for his first round loss to terry McGovern. Not sure i would buy that excuse.

    Brian Mitchell the former 130-pound titlist?


    Yeah, it's simply called 'Champ.' Good read, but long out of print.
